| "Temiz is the most famous percussionist in Turkey and this is the album that made him famous. It's not new, but it's a gem, largely because of the eerie, airy explosions of Aka Gunduz's ney (end-blown flute). It also captures the passionate excitement of the first fusion era, when it seemed like anything was possible. Odd-metered dance tunes meet sinuous soprano sax lines meet Brazilian cuica meet wah-wah guitar meet "Three Blind Mice," as Temiz tosses in twanging jaw harp, bongos and anything else at hand." - Downbeat Magazine, 2002 |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
